	#~~REDIRECT~~ [[Resources#Advanced ~~Resources~~]]		{{TV\|Antimatter}} is a [[Resources#Advanced_Resources\|resource]] that can be collected or manufactured. It becomes visible to the player after the [[Antimatter Containment]] research is completed, and it is used for a variety of advanced [[spaceship]] components.

			Antimatter cannot be purchased from Earth. However, it can be sold to Earth for a base price of 2,500 {{icon\|money}} per unit, which can be raised with projects, and lowered by selling large quantities to Earth. See [[Resources#Buying_and_Selling_Space_Resources]] for details.


			== Acquiring Antimatter ==

			Antimatter can be acquired in three different ways - artificial antimatter production, collection of naturally occurring antimatter, or as a reward for completing certain faction [[project]]s. However, these three methods are not equal. For example, to acquire 0.01 antimatter, you can do any of the following:
			* Run a single tier-2 Atomsmasher for one month.
			* Complete all faction projects in the tech tree that give antimatter rewards.
			* Collect naturally occurring antimatter at every site in the solar system, using the best possible collectors, for ''forty million years''.

			Because of this, the artificial production route is almost always the dominant source of antimatter for your faction.

			=== Artificial Production ===
			Particle Colliders are used to produce antimatter. Colliders can only be built in orbit.

			{\| class="wikitable"

			{{#invoke:HabModuleLister\|GetModuleTableRow\|Supercollider\|true\|true\|true\|true}}
			\|}

			These modules have high power and resource costs, and get more efficient as they get larger, meaning that it is typical to build them at habs that can support extremely high energy consumption. Since they can only be built in orbit, [[Habs#Solar_mirrors\|solar mirrors]] also cannot be used to help with these power costs. As such, the high natural solar power production of [[Mercury]] is often used to produce antimatter.


			=== Project Rewards ===
			When your faction completes a project with "Antimatter" in the name, you will typically receive a small amount of antimatter to enable you to begin using the technology right away. (This presumably reflects the production that happened during the research process.) These are one-time bonuses, available to each faction.

			\|}

			These projects give a total reward of 0.011 006 000 821 5 antimatter.


			=== Natural Antimatter Harvesting ===
			Certain locations in the solar system produce antimatter naturally, and this antimatter can be captured by specialized hab modules.

			These quantities are based on real-world astronomical estimates, which means that they are incredibly small by the standards of the game. Even Medium Saturn Orbit, which produces more than 4x as much as all other locations combined, still only barely makes enough for one Antimatter Spiker every two months. However, the research bonuses of these modules can occasionally make them worth building (even with their microscopic antimatter production rates).
